Hostels in Jiangsu, China

This is one of the largest hostels I've stayed in in recent years. The social common areas are also huge, but completely separate from the sleeping quarters, so they don't disturb your sleep at all. There are plenty of bathrooms and laundry facilities, so you never have to worry about them being insufficient. In the evening, I played some ball and chatted with some young students in the common area, reliving some college memories. That night, four US boys in my dorm were buying tickets to go out of town, and I even got to use my rusty English, which I haven't practiced in years. But these were all long-awaited experiences, bringing back the YHA student vibe I hadn't felt in years.

This hotel boasts an excellent location, just a few minutes' walk from Confucius Temple and Bailuzhou Park, making it super convenient for getting around. It's also very close to the subway station. The room was great, and the front desk staff were really lovely. The lobby has a charming, vintage feel. There's a big, beautiful outdoor terrace too. It recently snowed in Nanjing, and the light dusting of snow made everything look so pretty. Highly recommend!

This was my first time staying in a hostel, and it was much better than I expected. The hostel is conveniently located near a metro station, making it easy to get downtown. There's also a police station nearby, and all guests are female, which made me feel incredibly safe. It's clean and tidy, with excellent service. There's a common area where you can eat, and one wall is covered with heartfelt messages from previous female guests, many of which were quite touching. It offers great value for money, and I'd definitely come back. However, I wouldn't recommend it for those sensitive to noise, as it's like a university dorm with multiple people in one room. Since everyone has different schedules, some checking in late and others leaving early, some noise is unavoidable.

The hotel's design is really impressive, and I had a fantastic experience. Everyone should definitely come and check it out! Being on a high floor allowed me to see far into the distance through the window, which really lifted my spirits. The staff were all incredibly friendly, proactive, and enthusiastic, and even helped me with a small issue. 😁

10/10! This hostel is absolutely wonderful, from the cleanliness to the lovely staff (also the owner!). The room is very comfortable, clean and there is a locker for your valuable belongings. The bathroom is also super clean and has enough room for everyone. There is a laundry room with self service machines. The location is perfect (close to the meteo, but also to some of the main attractions of the city). There is a spacious dining area with plenty of chairs and tables. There is hot and cold drinkable water. The place is affordable and great! 10/10 for sure!

True to its international youth hostel roots, the location is incredibly convenient and it boasts a distinct artistic flair. The rooms don't come with tissue boxes or complimentary bottled water, but there's a purified water dispenser available at reception. It was very quiet this season; perhaps all the former hostel-dwellers have simply grown older. While there are common areas for guests to mingle, they were completely deserted. The owner was engrossed in his guitar, with a little Teddy dog faithfully by his side.

Location: Very close to Zhenjiang Railway Station, just across the street, a 10-15 minute walk. Located in Changfa Plaza, next to Wanda Plaza. Convenient shopping; there's a large supermarket, ”Changshen Supermarket,” in the basement; Changfa Plaza has many restaurants, including Haidilao and Yong'an Fish Restaurant, and even plenty of street food stalls, catering to various price ranges. Environment & Facilities: The hostel is on the 4th floor of Building 5, easy to find with the map provided by the owner. The total area isn't large, but it's well-equipped. Upon entering, there's a common lounge area, small but complete with sofas, a dining table, a refrigerator, microwave, water dispenser, and a washing machine. Attention to detail is also evident, with a dedicated slipper sterilizer and ample clothes hangers. There are two shower rooms for women, even with shower gel and shampoo. There's only one squat toilet, but since there aren't many guests and everyone has different schedules, it's sufficient. All rooms have bunk beds, the difference being between four-person and eight-person rooms. There are approximately 3-4 rooms each for men and women. Each bed comes with a strip lamp, a small cabinet, a charging socket, disposable toothbrush/toothpaste, and earplugs. The only slight drawback is the lack of storage space for large luggage; you have to put it under the bed or simply toss it on the bed. The walkway outside allows you to get some sun, and there's a clothes rack where you can hang your clothes to dry. A bookshelf separates the entryway from the rest area. The bookshelf actually has many worthwhile books; putting down your phone and choosing a book is a pleasant experience. Most of the guests are young people with different schedules, so we didn't interact much. On the first night, I met a girl who bought fruit to share with everyone; the second night, I met a girl who couldn't get a train ticket to Suzhou and had to take a ferry from Yangzhou to Zhenjiang. I shared my Zhenjiang travel tips with them, hoping everyone had a pleasant trip. In summary: A very nice hostel where you can feel free and undisturbed, perfect for solo travelers.

I stayed in their six-person room, and it was quite spacious. There's a trash can in the room, and the cleaning lady comes regularly to tidy up. The bathroom has both squat toilets and regular toilets, and the cleaning lady cleans them several times a day, keeping them spotless. The owner is also very nice and helpful with any issues. They collect the hair dryers at 11 PM to be used in the study room, which helps maintain quiet. Overall, my stay here was a good experience.

Cool, busy youth hostel. Bed was comfy and light/plug by bed. No locker in the room, just small ones by reception. Horrible wifi, especially in the evening. Spacious common area with lots of plugs. Feels like a college dormitory, very social atmosphere, even a few foreigners staying there. Free hot water and a fridge. Great endless hot water in the shower and clean (sit-down) toilets. No toilet paper or bidet however, so bring your own (why??). Located right by a metro stop. There's a fantastic aldi-style grocery store in the attached mall. Nearby streets also have local food options. It's confusing to find: enter via the west side of the building, at Qingfeng Hotel, then take elevator to 6th floor.

It was a great experience. The hostel is very easy to find. The hostess at the front desk speaks English very well and was very nice and friendly. I have stayed in a 4 beds female room for one night. The room was great, it provided sleepers, sheets and even had air conditionning. The showers are okay. The good point was having products in the shower : shampoo, hair conditioner, body wash and even a cleanser for the face ! It was very calm the night that I have stayed. The common space is nice and cozy. I didn't but you can order drinks or brekfast there. It is close to the subway, just a few steps from the bus stop, there a plenty of restaurants in the street and a supermarket across the road. I highly recommend this hostel.
